Who’s Who from Detachment A-411 (An Phu/My Phuoc Tay) (Partial Draft)

The following is a listing of all personnel in our database, assigned to Detachment A-411 (An Phu/My Phuoc Tay). If you were assigned to these camps or you can correct any errors or can add any names or [ESPECIALLY HELPFUL] identify the assignments for the names at the last page of the list shown as “Assignment Unknown,” or if you have any rosters, please let me know by e-mail at (sherman1@flash.net) or by phone at (713) 683-9076 or join the team discussion at the Green Beret Forum.

Narrative Information: The first PCS Detachment A5/213 established Camp Dan Nam at An Phu o/a 10/01/64. It was redesignated A-424 and reported to B-42 in Chau Doc. An Phu was located in Chuong Thien District, Chau Doc Province. An Phu was turned over to RF/PF o/a 08/01/66. The USASF assets appear to have been held together at Can Tho and participated in an operation on Phu Quoc Island (see A-442). The silver background indicates personnel who span this time frame.
